* [[Ambiguously Bi]] Make no mistake. She's a succubus, and Lute is the man she loves most. However, she does occasionally join in on the action when Lute is with other girls. {{spoiler|For starters, there are many times when she secretly peeps on Lute and whoever he is with, and considering Lute and the others in his harem have orgies almost daily, it's bound to happen to some degree, and finally, there was at least 3 instances where she and Emeralia collaborated to pleasure Lute, including one time where she suckled Emeralia's breasts and drank her milk "to help her" reach the point of orgasm (which she does)}}. She even calls Emeralia "cute". |

* [[Berserk Button]] She isn't fond of people threatening or insulting Lute. Same goes for herself, she hates it when people refer to her as "devil", "demon", or just "succubus" and enunciates many times that she is to be referred to as "Your Highness Shamsiel". |

|
* [[Blue Blood]] Shamsiel is a succubus, which is the 2nd highest ranked of all demon species. Now that she has officially married Lute and lives with him openly as a queen consort, she loves opportunities to remind everyone that they should refer to her as "your highness Shamsiel" and acts pompous at times. The thing is, she does this teasingly so no one minds. Except for the addressing her part, which she DOES mean when she tells them to address her properly. |

* [[Break the Cutie]] Her story arc in this one is very much this. {{spoiler|The worrisome part is how close the villains came to succeeding, but on the other hand, when it blows up in their faces it blows up even WORSE for them. And she enjoys EVERY. SECOND. OF THE RETRIBUTION}}. |

* [[Brought Down to Badass]] In the first game, she was easily the most powerful person in any room. To [[Game Breaker]] levels with all of her abilities together. This time around? She's still the most powerful person in any room she enters {{spoiler|except for Lute, but that would only be true if he were to awaken his true powers thanks to him being half-incubus, but Shamsiel is still keeping that a secret from him}}. However, this time around they do seem to have toned her powers back a bit. |

* [[Brutally Honest]] Let's put it this way: At one point she says "{{spoiler|Why the hell would I go through all the trouble to eat inferior jizz?! I'm actually a gourmet, I'll have you know! Lute's jizz is delicious!}}" in a room full of people after being {{spoiler|accused/suspected of having attacked a few soldiers in Bustenhalter}}. Suffice to say, Shamsiel is probably the most honest and straight-to-the-point person in the entire story. |

* [[Tranquil Fury]] Normally, Shamsiel is quite vocal whenever she's pissed off, but when Nigolinov is trying to convince Lute to re-open Pandora's Box in front of him and the other Cardinals, he asks Shamsiel if she could open it. Shamsiel gets annoyed and tells him that succubi can't. Nigolinov then says that Lute is the only one who can open it then. Shamsiel then says, "Lute, why don't you open it? ... Show'em the path." Lute wondered if he would need to make another bet with Reaper, but Shamsiel grinned and told him she doubted that would be necessary. Get that? She seemingly KNEW what was going to happen and told him to do it so that it would. {{spoiler|Nigolinov ends up getting his soul devoured, not Lute or Shamsiel.}} Do NOT mess with Shamsiel. |

In the present, she says "{{spoiler|[[You're Drinking Breast Milk|Don't you think coffee tastes better with milk? Can I get you a cup of coffee]]}}?" Cue Shamsiel appearing immediately to stop them, smuggly saying "Over my dead body!" |

* [[Speak Ill of the Dead]] While welcoming/interrogating Argent and his aid Nellis on their introduction's to the Kingdom of Edelland. She questioned whether or not that the [[Unfit for Greatness|would-be king]] had an ulterior motive for such a spontaneous undertaking, like say... [[Avenging the Villain|seeking retribution]] [[Lampshade Hanging|for his late cousin]]. Gladys blatantly denounces Bobon as an [[Upperclass Twit|spoiled rotten]] [[Inadequate Inheritor|traitorous ass]] whom the nation was better off without. Although a broad provocation to evoke a potentially dangerous element's response; her harsh statement of the former prince isn't at all unfounded. |

** Later comments in jest when wondering if [[Devil in Plain Sight|Rubin von Bernstein]] had crawled his way out of hell to haunt the kingdom. Given what a [[Slime Ball|complete and utterly irredeemable asshole]] the ex-minister happened to be, it's hard to feel any enmity towards her remark. Much less disagree with the possibility of such a return, considering just how evil and how big of a prick he was in life. |

* [[Stripperiffic]] Discussed and justified. Several people make comments about her outfit, mostly saying it doesn't seem appropriate for someone in her position (as High Commander {{spoiler|and later as Queen Consort}}). But then, GLADYS HERSELF justifies her outfit by saying that any true wife's job is to dress to seduce her man. |

* [[To Win Without Fighting]] Considering how widely known she is for her badassness, skills in combat, intelligence, and leadership expertise, she is widely considered the best knight on the entire continent by pretty much everyone (in and outside of Edelland). Therefore, foreign nations are utterly terrified of the notion of going to war with Edelland, and by extension her. Even Marquis Cuvier fears her (and rightly so). Thus, if anyone makes an enemy of her, they tend to surrender rather than actually trying to fight against her. |

** Prior to this story's beginning, Lingobard had declared war on Edelland between the end of the previous game and this one. The war was won during the first battle, because she captured King Bazalt I of Lingobard and they immediately ransomed him to force Lingobard to negotiate peace and surrender to Edelland, thus she won the war for Edelland in this manner. |

* [[Undying Loyalty]] To Lute of course. Woe be to anyone who tries to harm him. She also doesn't like it when people speak ill of Lute in front of her, even if it was an old friend of her father, such as Count Roche, if you trash-talk Lute, you aren't worth her time. |

She wondered if it was because he didn't find her as attractive or as satisfying as the rest of the women in Lute's harem. Lute of course tells her he DOES find her attractive and he DOES love her. The only reason he hadn't married her up till now was, because there were still people who might have gotten angry if they had married right away due to her being a former rebel boss. As it was, there were people who were initially upset about Lute marrying Shamsiel and appointing Emeralia as Prime Minister}}.

Eventually Lute playfully asks what could be seen as (joke) wedding vows to her "Dost though promise to let me suck thy fine, fine titties in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health?"

* [[If You Ever Do Anything to Hurt Her...|If You EVER Do Anything to Hurt Him...]] Aphrodia makes this kind of a proclamation twice. First time was after Lute {{spoiler|saved her from the Cyclops}}, she tells Cuvier that he was forbidden from making anymore {{spoiler|assassination}} attempts toward Lute, lest he incur her wrath (You kill him, I KILL YOU! Basically). The second time is right before Lute and the others are departing from Fronce, she publicly declares that as long as she reigned as Queen of Fronce, no one shall harm Lute or his kingdom (at least no one under her jurisdiction that is) as their two kingdoms were now allies, and must preserve bonds of loyalty "as though they are lovers". Lute of course reciprocates this toward her. |

She wanted to thank Lute for his gift of bras which she had been needing, and to express how impressed she was. She remarks that him besting her the first time was just a fluke, so Lute asks if she wanted to test that theory. She allows him to grope and suck her breasts once more, and eventually orgasms so much that she loses her strength. She questions if boobs were all Lute cared about, Lute understands what she was referring to, and of course was interested. She tells him that she wouldn't let him have his way however, but she orgasms once more, loses the strength to stand, drops to her hands and knees, and guess [[Coitus Ensues|what happens next.]] As it turns out however, she was planning/secretly hoping Lute would do it, because she is actually 3/4 demon and therefore figured she could overwhelm him}}. Too bad for her, it backfires, because {{spoiler|Lute is actually half-human half-incubus which makes him King of ALL Demons (though he isn't aware of this fact)}}. So he once more overwhelms her in sex. |

Right... In actuality, it was exactly what you're thinking: An excuse she used to be able to stay in Edelland, and be with her beloved Lute as much as she wanted}}. As a matter of fact, {{spoiler|in a metaphoric sense, she employs this when she makes love to Lute, in the way that: by offering herself to Lute, it was as though she was offering him Fronce itself, so when he makes love to her...

At the very least, she says that Lute was the first man to ever make her orgasm from her breasts alone AND the only man to outlast her. |

* [[Asshole Victim]] No, not like how he was in the first game. In this game he's actually a better man, but this trope applies to his one major screw up: {{spoiler|He and Isis had just thwarted Assassins attempting to kill Lute while posing as foreign dignitaries (yet still in their assassin outfits). The assassins had called Isis "Ms Shy Nipples" referring to the fact that she has inverted nipples. Motaire actually asks her if this was true, which as you would expect pisses her off, so she clobbers him. She tries to apologize for beating him so badly, but he makes it worse by asking to see her inverted nipples... Yeah... No... Isis once again gets mad, tells him that her boobs are only for Lute to see and touch, and then kicks Motaire's ass once more.}} It's all played for laughs, and if he was going to ask something so stupid, it's kind of hard to feel sorry for him. |

* [[Undying Loyalty]] It seems like he has become one of Lute's biggest supporters outside of his harem. That includes him standing up for Lute and Queen Shamsiel in Vunderbalt when Canossa was insulting them. There was also the instance when they returned to Bustenhalter and the soldiers wanted to kill Shamsiel for her supposed attack the night before on their comrades. Motaire is the first to try and tell them they were mistaken, and that if they raised their swords against Shamsiel, it'd be like doing so against Lute, whom they definitely trusted. |

Doling out punishment to sinners in the eyes of his and that of his lord as penance for a mysterious misdeed [[My God, What Have I Done?|committed regarding a saint]]. One story says he'd killed a truly most holy individual while others profess he'd used a false one to condemn a church he didn't like. |

The idea being that Fronce could go to war and use the agreement to force Edelland to send aid until it was exhausted, again leaving it vulnerable to be annexed by Fronce, even if it took 20 years. When it looked like they weren't going to sign the treaty due to that line, he tries to use his magic to unleash a surprise force of Fronce soldiers he smuggled into Edelland to force Lute to sign.

Lute and the others realize the scheme and tell him they won't sign it. He therefore is forced to unleash his secret weapon: Soldiers he had smuggled into the capital in wine barrels using magic. What he didn't realize, was that all the barrels containing the soldiers had been sent and stored in the dungeon (purely for storage purposes), but when he has them materialize, the soldiers are all trapped in the dungeon and cramped in the cell like sardines. Thus, this act of attempted treason ends with him failing, actual proof of a crime he commits being presented, and he is therefore taken back and executed in Fronce. Lute personally had nothing to do with any of that, because it was actually Argent who had had all the wine barrels moved to the dungeon (out of spite, but still)}}. |

* [[Nice Job Fixing It, Villain]] Thanks to its defeat, Lute, Shamsiel, and Emeralia are seen as even more heroic and worthy of respect to the people of Boan than they already were. In essence, this could be seen as when the people of Boan finally forgive Shamsiel for what she had done a few years ago to some of the civilians. |
